Friday's Sedona Run -- UPDATE

Why am I thinking that you're really checking the blog for updates?!? One can hope.

I impressed with the fartlek workout on Tuesday and how far and long you went today in pretty cold and windy weather.

Although it'll still be cold tomorrow, I was hoping to make our trip to Sedona a "Quality" workout. There has to be a "fast" component since we're dropping a thousand feet or more. I'm willing to listen to suggestions on what you think you should do to get the most out of this run.

TEMPERATURE IN SEDONA 
30's most likely when we're running. The high for sedona tomorrow is only forecasted at 47°, however by that time we'll be back in Flag. Dress warm and bring a change of inner garments, since they should be damp (cold!) after you run (and please don't where your running shoes the entire time!!).

The plan again:

830 Am: Meet/depart NPA (w/ a stop to pick up the "Westsiders" at FT. Tut.)
~Noon: Return NPa (let's plan to call when we get within cell range).

BRING SOME FOOD, AND SOME TO SHARE!!!

Should be fun.
